Locit.unaT defended the economy of Minis ters. Mr. H. THOUNTON drew the attention of the House to pensions. The Hon. Gentleman had said a great Sat ing.might be made in these pensiens an nually. He (Mr. Thornton) wad formerly on A Comrnitt4e highly favourable to public economy, and from the observation Ire had made on pensions,. lie did not look on them as a material. source for eco nomy. He was struck with the magnitude of the :Marren of pensions, but on inquiry, he found that it was subjee:t to considerable reduaion. With respea to the general principle of the Hon. Gentleman's Motion, he was glad the subject had been' brought fat ward, as the House would be in possession of Ws worrhy their attention. Mr. WARDLE said a few words in explanation, and preposed Moving carious Resolutions. . ' Mr. HUSKIStiON expressed an opinion that the HonSe ought to be in possession of proper evidence relative to the objects proposed by the Hon. Gentle man, and lie wished it to be understood, that it was the Hon. Gentleman's intention to render the evi dence.as applicable as possible by the next meeting of Parliament., Mr. Waraor: acquiesced, and after some conver sation' between the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Oundas, and Mr. kuskisson, the following re turns were moved, and agreed to : Return of the ex pence incurred by the Ordnance during the last three years—Expences incurred by the 1:,ocal Militia to the present titne—Expences of the Waggon Train during three years, ending the sth eflitinary, t sog—Expences of the Manx Fen -cosies to 1 309—Expences relating to the.

Mr, P. Mootta wished to ask a question. Some time ago a Commission was sent to Ireland to exa mine persons charged with sedition, the Commis , sioners wishing to examine the parties privately, an appeal was made against them, tinder these cir cumstances he'thought their report should be sent back.

Isgtritc, MAY it4.--Letters from Poland, of the 46, state, the thking of the redoubt of the bridge of Astrovvick, facing, Gap, by.the Polish troops. . On the 3d of May the Austrian General SCHA.

Sendomer surrendered by capitulation, and in the action of the redoubt of the bridge, 1000 Austrians were and 200, \vitt) 20 pieces of cannon, and considerable magazines, taken. Jo 'a letter dated Banks of the Elbe, June 2, it is Dail, that . in the late great battle ate Lsling, Btiori,t. and infantry give way, ordered the cannon to be planted in their tear. In hia vehemence Ile loaded the hotie and loot with the most oppiobrious in. vsl4iyes. Near 10,000 Frenchmen are said to have been drowned in the Danube. V4V , 10.4 If ‘ve rightly understood the Hem Gentleman, he said he was induced to bring forward the Motion in ccinieqUence of a demand. Which had been Made Upon him at a certain Meeting for the purpose of proinot• ing a Parliamentary Retorm, and that he should not other Wise have introduced it. This is_surely a strange reason, for if the measure were. proper in itself, he ought to have tided from a very different impulse, than a desire of conforming to the wish of such a meeting, and the merits of the question should have operated upon his sense of duty to the public. But it appears that whatever retrenchments in the National Expenditure he deemed oecessary and expedient, Parliamentary Reform was his great object, and in the pursuit of that object he attempted to 'justify himself by a reference to what was said by Mr. PITT in the year 1782, who . was then an advocate for a Reform in Parliament. To the opinions of Mr. PITT, at any stage of his life, every man who values a great and virtuous character would be in clined to listen with respefit, but surely we should rather attend to those opinions which he formed after long meditation and experience,when his knowledge was more extensive, and hisjudgment,more mature. In the latter part of Mr. Pirr's useful and ho nourablelife, it is evident that his notions of the expediency of a Parliamentary Reform were totally changed, and the dreadful innovations in the Go vernment of France, were quite sufficient to make him pause before he could think of suggesting any change in our Constitution, even if the progreis of reflection and experience had nut convinced him of the danger of touching a system, which time and practice had brought as near perfuction as is consis tent with any human institutions. So that Mr. WAILDLE was not justifying himself by a reference to Mr. Parr, when he became such an enlightened and experienced Statesman as the world had never seen before. As to the retrenchments themselves, which Mr. Waiting proposed, they were not of a nature that,weconceive,could properly be made at this period when we are involved in a war with the most powerful enemy that ever assailed us, and who has resolved upon nothing . short of our destnadion as a nation. Mr: WARDLE dwelt much upon what he deemed the excess of our military establishments, " and imputed much of it to mere parade. This lan guage would skew that he derived his opinions and sentiments from the Meeting at whose 'desire he stated that he was induced to bring forWarl the clues. tion. It savoured strongly of those republican prin ciples which prompted the great MILTOW to say On " the trappings of a Monarchy would set up a Com mon-wealth," without. once considering that the chief members of a Common-wealth are a - herd of petty tyrants, whose expences would most probably far exceed those trappings of which the agent of a republic spoke thus contemptuously.-- We shall say nothing upon the late period in the Session at which Mr. WARDLE introduced a subjea of this arduous and intricate nature, as Mr. 'hams- SON so . ably commented on this point, as well as demonstrated the fallacy of his statement and de, The Lilac, RIPLEY, and the Swift, RAT, from Malta to London, are taken by a French Pri vateer, after an action of thrae.houts.and carried into Marseilles; Capt.

The Defendant being brought into Court, Pin Justice GaOSE proceeded to pronounce his senteuce. He remarked, that his conduct bad been so bills that it was to be feared punishment would be iocrr fe&ual in reforming him, but the Court must endea vour to deter others by the severity to be intlitled ou him. The Court h3d felt much difficulty in determining what degree of punishment his c iinedcservod i they could find tie example, for he had enveded all former instances of public peculation. Upon considerA all the circumstances of his case, the Court (edema, that he should be imprisoned for three years in New' gate, and be wholly incapable of ever serving bls Majesty in any capacity, either citi it or military.

TUESDAY, JUNE 20, 1809• Yesterday afternoon a Telegraphic Dispatch was received at the Admiralty froth Plymouth, stating that the French had been driven out of St. Andero. Indeed from former accounts received of the situation of the Enemy in the North of Spain, we haVe very little doubt that in a very short time they will not have a single man either in Asturias or Gallicia. \Ve have this day made some further ExtraEts from. the Heligoland Mail which arrived yesterday. Some of the Letters received by this Mail state, that the French Minister had left Hamburgh. We have very little to add to the observations which we yesterday made upon t 4 intelligence con tained in the French and Dutch Papers. In every point of view in Whichee consider that intelligence, it appears to us most satisfaaory. lIVONAPANTE 4) 7 pears to be resolved to risque the whole issue, and almost his own personal safety, upon the result of another general battle, and so anxious has he been to coiled an immense force before he engages the Archduke again, that he has called in almost all his troop►►, and even exposed himself to the chance of having . his com►nunication with France intercepted. Thus circumstanced, another defeat, or even a much longer continuance of inactivity would be nearly fatal to BUON'APARTh : every hour adds to the list of his enemies, and nothing but some great and decisive success over the Archduke can extricate him from his perilous situation. We cannot, however, look forward to the event of ano ther general battle, without considerable apprehfm sion. The means which BUONAPARTL liaS collected are immense, and that they will be directed with skill there can be no doubt ; and we are not en tirely without fear that he may again avail himself of those arts of corruptiob Which. have hitherto contributed, even more perhaps than his tni, litary skill, to his success. We are far from wishing to damp those expeatitions, wh!ch the late favourable Intelligence must naturally have excited, in the public mind, because We , think there are rational grounds to hope fof a . fortunate terminaa tion of the contest ; our only 'objet is to guard our Readers against too sangliine an anticipation of unin-. terrupted success .on the part of the Austrians.-- There are, we have already stated, strong grounds to hope for success, but, at the same time, we:Ought to be prepared for reverses. There is one circumstance attending the situation In which BUONAPA writ is now placed, which we cannot contemplate without, faftion, and that is, that a viaory would not now decide the contest in favour of the French; unless indeedit.were of such a nature as entirely to anni hilate the Austrian army, while on the other, lian(t, a defeat would be fatal to BUONAPARTE, for lie would find it most didculti if not impraaicable, to re treat through, a hostile . country, pnr,ued and ha rassed as he certainly would be by an gtive and vic torious enemy. No offiCial accounts havis yet reached this cowl.' try of the respective loss of the Austrian and,Freneb armies,•in the memorable battles On the banks of the Danube, on the gist and 22(1 nit. but a Letter has been received from a Gentleinan of great .respeaabi lily; Who is now on the Continent,. and whose 'ai. tuation affords him the best means : of-obtaining accurate information, which states, -.that the legs o f the French in those two days fell 'very" little short of 30,000 men, The same Letter-adds, that BUONAPARTE, when he found it necessary to retreat;- adopted, as he did at Jaffa, a furnmary mode of (Ls:- posing of his wounded, and that great numbers of them were aelually thrown into the Danube. ThiS statement is in Some degree confirmed by a letter; brought by the Heliguland Mail from the Banks of the Elbe, which. states, that not less than 10,000 French were drowned in the Danube. It cannot be expe&ed that we should enter into the snbjed of Mr. WARD La's Motion last I'll& in t he House of Commons, as it k of 'so and intricate a nature ;•but a foy words nin); tic •ni!.: • LONDON Printed by RICHARD HARRIS, of No. 4, Martial- col!t. now-wets ; 'anti l'irAished tIY WILLIAM ARNI I C; SL l'l'S t h 114 t o n..it t evt, Greiven r.sdtrre.
